Not typically public information because it depends on each utilities risk tolerance and/or any PSC reliability requirements
30-60 days is a good rule of thumb
It really depends on how how far the coal is from the generation plant, rail line performance and type of coal you burn - is it sub-bituminous (PRB), which is 8400-8800 btu/lb or bituminous (IB) 11500-12000 btu/lb
If sub bituminous and I’m in the southeast, I may want a larger inventory because 1. Distance (PRB - coming from Wyoming) 2. Heat content lower than bituminous, so I have to burn more to get the equivalent MWh 3. If it is delivered by multiple railroads, that could push me there as well

Thank you, great info.
I'm constantly impressed by the information one can get from this board.
